The Mounjaro coupon is Lilly’s Mounjaro Savings Card. If you have commercial insurance that covers Mounjaro, you may pay as little as $25 for a 1-, 2- or 3-month fill. If your commercial plan does not cover it, you may pay as low as $499 a month. The card does not work for people on Medicare, Medicaid or other government plans, or for people with no insurance.[1]
Prices and program terms checked October 2026. They change often; confirm with the manufacturer or your plan.

Who qualifies
To use the card, you must:[1]
- Have a prescription for the Mounjaro single-dose pen for an approved use consistent with the FDA label.
- Have commercial drug insurance (through an employer, a union, or a plan you buy yourself).
- Not be enrolled in any government-funded program: Medicaid, Medicare, Part D, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, DoD, VA, TRICARE/CHAMPUS, or a state drug assistance program.
- Live in the United States or Puerto Rico and be 18 or older.
What “approved use” means: Mounjaro is approved to improve blood sugar in adults and children 10 and older with type 2 diabetes, and to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes.[4] If Mounjaro is prescribed off-label for weight loss alone, the card’s conditions are not met. Zepbound, the same drug approved for weight management, has its own Zepbound savings card.
How the $25 card works in practice
The $25 price is a floor, not a promise. Lilly covers your copay or coinsurance up to the caps, and you pay anything above them.
Example 1: your plan puts Mounjaro on a tier with a $100 monthly copay. Lilly pays $75 and you pay $25.
Example 2: you are in your deductible and the pharmacy charges you $900 for a month. Lilly pays its $150 monthly maximum and you pay $750.
Example 3: you have used $1,950 in savings by autumn. For the rest of the calendar year, the card pays nothing more and you pay your plan’s full share.
A 3-month fill can stretch the value: you can pay as little as $25 in total for 84 days if your plan and pharmacy allow a 90-day supply.[1]
How to get and use the card
- Check eligibility and download the card on Lilly’s Mounjaro savings page by answering the attestation questions.[1]
- Activate the card. Activation and a HIPAA authorization are required.[1]
- Give the card to your pharmacy with your insurance card. The pharmacy bills your plan first, then the savings card.
- Use it every fill and confirm you still qualify each time. If you move to Medicare or Medicaid, Lilly asks you to stop using the card and call the program at 1-844-805-5807.[1]
Savings card or LillyDirect: which costs less?
If your commercial plan does not cover Mounjaro, you have two routes at about the same price. The savings card’s not-covered tier brings a month of pens down to as low as $499 at a regular pharmacy, and LillyDirect’s self-pay price also starts at $499 a month.[1][3]
A few differences can tip the choice:
- Yearly limit: the card’s not-covered tier is capped at $8,411 in Lilly savings per year, or 13 fills.[1] LillyDirect instead lists a self-pay price, with its own terms, so ask how many fills it covers.
- Pharmacy: the card works at the pharmacy you already use. LillyDirect ships to your home or arranges pickup.[3]
- Insurance status: LillyDirect self-pay does not depend on having commercial insurance, so it still works if you lose or change jobs mid-year.[3]
If your plan covers Mounjaro, the $25 tier is almost always the cheaper option until you reach the yearly cap.[1]
Rules people often miss
- No stacking: the card cannot be combined with any other coupon, discount card or offer for Mounjaro.[1]
- No reimbursement claims: you may not seek reimbursement for the card’s savings from your insurer, an HSA, an FSA or another account.[1]
- Alternate funding programs: if your employer plan requires you to apply for manufacturer assistance through an outside “alternate funding” vendor as a condition of coverage, you are not eligible for the card.[1]
- Plans that redirect costs: Lilly can reduce or end savings if your plan removes coverage and relies on the card, or does not count card payments toward your copay or deductible.[1]
- Pen only: savings apply only to the Mounjaro single-dose pen NDCs listed in the terms.[1]
- State rules: the card is not valid for Massachusetts residents if an AB-rated generic is available, or for California residents if an approved therapeutic equivalent is available.[1]
If you don’t qualify for the Mounjaro coupon
- No insurance: LillyDirect sells Mounjaro to self-pay patients starting at $499 a month for any dose.[3] See Mounjaro cost without insurance.
- Medicare Part D: Lilly says Mounjaro is covered on many Part D plans for type 2 diabetes, and about 8 in 10 Part D patients pay $0 to $50 for a 28-day supply.[1]
- Medicaid: coverage varies by state; Lilly points to Medicaid.gov for details.[2]
- Lilly Cares: Mounjaro is not on the Lilly Cares list of free medicines as of October 2026.[5] Our Mounjaro patient assistance program guide covers what is available.
- Questions: Lilly Support Services can be reached at 1-800-545-5979.[2]
